About Jane Wonnell

I started my business in 2007 as a mosaic artist. My first commission piece is in the chapel at Fair Oaks Hospital, Fairfax, VA. It is 3 x 5 feet and took 6 months to create. I use recycled tiles and plates instead of mosaic tiles. I also have a Mosaic on display in the narthex of Vale United Methodist Church in Oakton, VA. My latest commission was for Poolesville Presbyterian Church. It is a cornucopia in which the congregation gave me things to incorporate into the piece. It is my first 3D Mosaic. I created a fun clock from a cigar box and sold it at my booth at the Big Flea several years ago. Nine more were sold at the library exhibit. I have exhibited twice at the Arlington County Library and the Shirlington library. From that humble start I am now known as the Clock lady! I have taught classes on how to both create mosaics and cigar box clocks. My pieces gave been sold at Art Ala Carte in Occoquan, VA, the Artisans, McLean, VA, Orbrigado Restaurant, Louisa, VA, Vintage Vibe, Topeka, KS, Poolesville Nail Spa, Poolesville, MD and currently I have work at the Blue Hearth, Poolesville, MD. I have had booths at Sugarloaf, Craftsman Classic, Reston Festival, Gaithersburg, MD Steampunk Show and Poolesville Day. I create commission pieces as well. I will create a clock that describes a persons life with symbolism through "artifacts" I have collected and you can give me things you would like added to the clock. Old retro jewelry or those single earrings you saved are great additions! They make great birthday, wedding, Christmas, anniversary and retirement gifts! My cigar box clocks are under $150!
